The IR analysis software optris PI Connect sets benchmarks within the thermography branch by offering its users extensive recording and real-time analysis options. In addition, moving measuring objects can be monitored via line scan function.

A real-time data transfer to external software programms, including radiometric video sequences and snap shots, text files for the analysis in Excel as well as files containing color information for standard programs such as Adobe Photoshop or the Windows Media Player, is supported by the software PI connect.

Furthermore, several functions for automatic process and quality control procedures, such as the individual setup of process related alarm levels, are supported by the thermografic software, enabling you to immediately react to temperature fluctuations and thus, optimize your processes.

The PI connect software is compatible with all netbooks, notebooks and computer systems using Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 10.
